PowerStance is a unique powdered coconut oil supplement.  PowerStance delivers the secret ingredient from CoolStance as a powder. Since coconut oil can solidify below 24-25°C, PowerStance was developed to provide the essential benefits of coconut oil in a convenient powder form.
Key Benefits
	
Saturated oil. Coconut oil is saturated, ie it is not prone to rancidity
	
Coconut oil has useful nutritional and antimicrobial benefits
	
Increased muscle glycogen storage - Saturated fats such as those found in coconut oil are more effective at enhancing muscle glycogen storage than the unsaturated fats found in other vegetable oils (eg. canola, corn and soya oil).
	
Anti-viral and anti-bacterial protection - possibly for gut health and well being from Lauric and caprylic acid
	
Ready energy - coconut oil contains MCTs (medium chain triglycerides) which are easier to digest, absorb and convert to muscle energy than the long-chain fatty acids found in other vegetable oils. MCT's are absorbed directly into the portal blood and transported to the liver, whereas polyunsaturated oils are transported via the lymphatics.
	
Long shelf life – unlike other vegetable oils, coconut oil is highly saturated and therefore more resistant to rancidity.
	
PowerStance is an odourless white powder making it easy to mix into feeds
